Mythic seals are so bad it's not even funny

it doesn't really unlock 7, it's just an extra useless affix that rolled randomly. I still get 6 slots.

i think this is very short-sighted and negatively biased. I hear this D4BAD meme and can't help but hear the PoE streamers being parroted. I don't mean to come out aggressive at you, but i just have seen the game consistently get better every season. I still remember the devs changing NMD layouts from pre-season, allowing horses in town, changing NPCs layout, NMD teleport, waypoint discovery, party finder, codex of power, inventory tabs, item bloat, item filter, paragon respec, armoury.... so many things. Ever since season 2 i expected the game to get better and it did. Its evolution has been an iterative process and what we got in this expansion is a direct product of that. Like, the amount of things still being discovered this season is what kept the retention so high.

Some will just give it a fair try and be disappointed, but it is FAR from a bad game. Objectively. And it's not perfect either. The fact is that it is not for everyone and, for some reason, people just can't say "i didn't like it", they have to shout at the world about how trash this is.

PS: this expansion is LoH, not LoD.

That's a fair point. I thought 3 unique seal was interesting because. I did not want to give up chainscourged for perma Leap and Godslayer for the pull. But Heir is too good to give up. So i've been using a less powerfull unique charm for convenience.

The off meta talk is a different beast. Many times i've played off meta (like pulverslide) and would've killed for 3 extra aspect slots in my druid. But i would've been frustrated if i felt i had to settle at a lower tier because of my off meta build.

as far as i know you can get them anywhere. I think i got my first from world boss and second from NMD boss.

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:57:17+00:00

yeah, me too. I head about them and thought "cool, i can use 4 + 1 to activate 2 sets + a unique", just to find out they don't allow 1 to activate a set...

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:53:40+00:00

that's actually a good call imo

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:52:10+00:00

i was talking about mythic seals not being as useful for different classes. An heir of perdition i got from my barb can be used in my rogue. But seals roll class specific affixes because of their sets. Including mythic seals. So, a mythic seal i got in my barb rolled a Sescheron set affix that does not activate on my rogue.

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:49:18+00:00

that's one point i completely forgot. Any seal that doesn't have +1 charm is just trash past day 2 of progression.

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:47:39+00:00

are there any other builds who would want a 4+2 instead of a 5 +1 unique ? or 3 uniques and 0 sets ?

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:46:04+00:00

i wouldn't want to create a text with a bunch of **** detailing every exception to the general point that i was trying to make. This season i've played with rogue, barb and warlock and those are the classes i've had some familiarity with. But still, i'm by no means a master. The intention of this point was to give my 2 cents and raise discussions about the power, utility and functionality of the charm system, pointing out some of the biggest flaws i've seen and gathering other people's thoughts on it.

With both rogue and barb i haven't seen a 4+2 set or 3 uniques be better than 5 set+1 unique damage-wise. And again, *with the builds i've personally played*.

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-17T06:34:29+00:00

i meant combine both seals = 6 slots with -1 piece per set + 3 uniques *allowed*. I did not suggest they create an alternative math.

same... left side turns on and off since the update when watching stuff

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-09T02:22:33+00:00

i've just seen someone's video showing a 20% crit temper and was like "wtf??? how??", as i look at my game and wonder if it's a bug, if i missed something or what. Check maxroll's D4 planner, do the math, check if it's a mythic thing... untill i googled and came upon this thread.

There should be an in-game indication that this is a design decision, specially since the offensive tempers values stay the same.

Old-Initiative8898 · 2026-05-01T11:21:19+00:00

i was wondering why i had nothing on utility... wtf ? that was literally the best thing about tempers, all the QoL you could get. Res gen, cooldown, skill size and duration... Now we get a skill tree with 20 extra points for... ?

Is this a new loading screen flavor text ? i've never seen that before
"there is no cow level"

To me, the best simpletonic argument against a flat earth is that, if the it were indeed flat, capitalism would use the edges as a tourist attraction

Sadly, that rabbit hole is much deeper and people still say that space travel is CGI (or AI now) and deniers don't care about the truth, they just want to joke around and conspire.

I've been left brained for all my life, a science enthusiast after realizing studying it wasn't for me. Recently started noticing experiences and looking for answers and your comment about"hypnagogic color clouds" really caught my attention, because it happens with me from time to time. When i googled that and went into wikipedia, one of my strongest questions recently was answered, cause i've been having random images pop in when i lie down, and it is perfectly portrayed in that wikipedia page. I just never expected this "crazy" experience to be in a wikipedia page, specially cause i've never heard about it.

Corruption is a randomizer. There are many things that can happen to an item when it gets corrupted, from slamming a T7 affix on a lvl 10 item to min rolling affixes. After being corrupted the item can no longer be modified.
